The use of colors in my latest sculptures is a essential. It does not only function aesteticly, but reveals different layers in the build-up and accentuates the shape more clearly. Allthough the sculptures have an almost inbedded link towards architecture, it is important to avoid this viewpoint and look at them purely within the abstaction of the museum and the metropole.
The sculptures are made of cements and pigments. During the search for the wished shape(s), figuration is exluded because it disturbes during my essentual investigation as well as in the final result. The building proces, the construction of an individual object or a group goes on, walks on, grows till I see that itīs good. It is a black and white yes-no proces. The slower logical way of thinking is banned or at least putted appart during the intelectual proces of creation.This elimination does not only have the function to keep the construction pure and abstract, but to open as many roads as possible (within my minimal material occupation) to an as creative and renewing possible working proces. This results in strong, clear and almost obvious objects.The exclusion, and therefor purification, works as a filter and creates a focus on what has not-been-said, on what I have not been able yet to pronounce. It is a search for an image, an almost obvious form, that can fill up a necessary deficiency within the constuction of my landscape. This does not make the work easier, but makes the proces as the result more interesting
